FrinGo’s Kitchen, a family-owned Puerto Rican restaurant, opens its doors at 11 a.m. today on the northwest corner of Alma School and Warner in Chandler.
It takes over the space that formerly housed Tumi Fine Peruvian, which recently relocated a mile south to Alma School and Ray.
FrinGo’s compact menu offers eight entrees, such as pollo guisado (braised chicken with potatoes, $7.50), bistec empanizado (breaded cube steak, $8.50), and chuleta frita (seasoned pork chop, $8.50).
Sides include alcapurrias (stuffed meat fritters, $2.50), relleno de papa (stuffed potato balls, $2.50), and pastelillos (Puerto Rican meat turnovers, $2.25).
Besides fountain drinks, FrinGo’s sells Malta Goya, a Puerto Rican malt beverage brewed from barley, hops, and water, but non-alcoholic.
There’ll be a ribbon-cutting at 4:30 p.m. today, followed by salsa music from DJ Avini Milan at 5. A clown will provide face paintings and balloons for kids.
